Copenhagen – the capital of district energy
Population:
1.1 mill
District Heating consumers :
0.5 mill
Pipe length – Hot water(trace): 900 miles
Pipe length – Steam (trace):
90 miles
First steam district heating build in 1925
98% connection rate
Decided in 2008 to build a commercial district

The feasibility study
› A feasibility study / master plan
investigation several areas of
Copenhagen was completed in 2009
› The study showed several areas
with a sound economic

COWI NORTH AMERICA ENERGY
Current plan
• Identified 8 obvious DC areas
• Estimated total demand - 150 MW
• Power savings - 60 GWh/yr (-80%)*
• CO2-Reduktion 25.000 tons/yr (-65%)*

Some key points
› The two systems are interconnected to increase power efficiency and resilience
for the entire network.
› All electric-driven chillers are ammonia chillers – synthetic refrigerants (green
house gasses and ozone depleting gasses) are not allowed in DK for this
application.
› In Tietgensgade Plant all chillers are operated by variable frequency drives to
optimize plant efficiency.
